UF Researchers Use Satellite Images To Help Cattle Ranchers

Sometimes, to solve a problem, scientists have to think outside the box — or in this case, the breathable atmosphere.

Two University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences researchers, Chris Wilson, an assistant professor in agronomy, and Hunter Smith, a doctoral student, are creating a new data-interpretation tool using satellite imagery to help ranchers better manage their pastures and grazing.

“Remote sensing is potentially a Swiss Army knife tool,” Wilson said. “We are very interested in the environmental impacts and the complete package.”
